For Voluntary Project Activities (VPAs)/ Component Project Activities (CPAs) included in a Programme of Activity (PoA) without a compliance check, how is compliance monitored?

For the VPAs/CPAs directly included by the Coordinating/Managing Entity (CME), the Validation And Verification Body (VVB) that performs the first verification for such VPAs/CPAs shall confirm that they comply with the requirements defined for the inclusion of VPAs/CPAs in the registered PoA.

 

If the VVB finds that they do not comply with any of the requirements, then:

  • Such VPAs/CPAs shall be deemed to be erroneously included and will be further assessed in line with the requirements defined for treatment of erroneously included VPAs/CPAs in paragraph 14, PoAs and Liability, PoA Requirements. The requirements mentioned in paragraph 14 of PoA Requirements will also apply to resolve the established non-conformity. 

 

AND 

 

  • No new VPAs/CPAs shall be allowed to be included in the PoA without the positive conclusion of VVB compliance check for the next two VPAs/CPAs.
